There is nothing done that does not mean self-denial, routine, disillusionment, and half realization.

Even the superman goes the same road, coming out at the same halfway-up house! It is the meaning of the effort, not the half result, that counts.
The pain and struggle of an enterprise are not what takes the heart out of a soldier; it is telling him his cause is mean, his fight in vain.

Show him a reason, and he dies exultant.

The woman is the world's one permanent soldier.

After all war ceases she must go daily to her fight with death.
